Earlier Report Observations

The groundnut oil-cake market in SADC experienced a steady contraction from 2018 to 2023, with its volume falling from 183.9 thousand tons to 153.9 thousand tons. This decline, representing a drop of over 16%, was most pronounced in 2019 and 2023, while a slight uptick in 2020 provided only temporary relief.

Domestic production, which constitutes the overwhelming share of market supply, mirrored this downward trend, decreasing from 183.7 thousand tons to 154.3 thousand tons. Import and export volumes remained negligible throughout the period, underscoring the market's reliance on local output and its insulation from significant trade fluctuations.

In the later years, broader industry developments were observed, including global demand for plant-based products, technological advances in oil extraction, and regional sustainability initiatives such as Wilmar International's investment in African peanut farming. These factors, however, did not alter the fundamental downward trajectory of local production and overall market size during the reviewed period.
